NASA’s Webb and Hubble telescopes team up to create a complete image of the Ghost Galaxy

The Phantom Galaxy M47 has been seen in the best possible way thanks to the images captured in collaboration between the Webb and Hubble telescope.

The advances made to understand space are spectacular and are offering images that seemed impossible to obtain a few years ago. Both the recent James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope have joined forces to capture the Ghost Galaxy, M47.

This galaxy is 32 million light years away, although this data is approximate since it can vary depending on the moment in which it is measured, from Earth and it is in the constellation of Pisces. The Ghost Galaxy has a characteristic structure that has led to it being studied for several years..

The way it is arranged makes it especially striking due to the fact that it has a spiral shape that is constantly branching out. Thanks to the collaboration between these two telescopes, several images have been obtained in which details of this galaxy can be seen..

What is interesting are both the colors that are shown and the definition of the images that allow us to see or, at least, glimpse the enormous number of stars that make up this galaxy. In the center is a young star that glows blue, indicating that it is still in its early stages of life.

To get the photograph that you can see as the cover image, several processes have been carried out, such as converting the photograph to infrared to be able to appreciate the necessary details and colors of the galaxy. Although the novelty is the Webb telescope, Hubble still has a long life ahead of it as it is dedicated to other types of tasks.

The combination of the information captured between both telescopes achieved by using the electromagnetic spectrum has given rise to images that are capable of taking the breath away of anyone. Now we just have to wait to see how this captured information will help investigations.

Being able to photograph something 32 million light years away is a milestone that few people take into account and therefore the work behind it is worth mentioning. Besides, the European Space Agency has put to any user’s devices high resolution photos of the Phantom Galaxy M74.

Leaving aside the mysteries of the galaxy and the technology that is capable of bringing these elements closer to us, the truth is that the images that can be downloaded are spectacular wallpapers for anyone who appreciates this type of element.
